On to Portland...

We arrived at the hotel in Portland at 10:45 pm. By the time we had brought everything up to the room, changed into pajamas, and settled into bed the girls were up past midnight! We headed to the zoo the next morning to meet up with everyone...

The baby elephant was playing with his mom inside...so cute!!!

Darien, Monica, Clara and Hannah

Tommy and I with our babies, the youngest cousins. Boden just finished doing pull-ups on the bar behind us!!! At six months, he acts like one of the monkeys in the zoo!

Eliza looks shocked at what her cousin can do!

I almost forgot that I had a baby this weekend because Aunt Heidi took such good care of her:)
Cousins

These lucky 5 got a ride up to the exit in the cart

After a short nap in the car, we were ready to swim!

These girls went swimming at 4 and then were back in the water again at 7 after dinner

My little fish:)

Hannah loved the "hot pool"

Boden wasn't too sure about the cool water at first, but loved flying through the air

What a cute family!!!

The next day, we spent time with Nonna and Boppa at the mall

And then at Chuck E Cheese!
The girls spent most of their time at the skee ball with Nonna. They threw the balls overhand and cheered when they made it past the ramp into the bottom slot. You can see in this next picture how high in the air the balls were flying. It was amazing that we didn't injure anyone. I was surprised at the decent aim that both girls had!

Hannah winds up for a throw

Hannah kept telling us "I'm not scared of Chuck E Cheese anymore!"

What a fun few days!!
